The Charm of Slight Imperfection_{I cherish that slight imperfection

something exquisite and honest

about a thing, just barely flawed

like an egg with a small dimple

a beautiful face with a tiny scar

a scar with a crooked story

a story with a flawless beginning

but perhaps, an imperfect ending

neither picture perfect

nor what we would have chosen

I want the pattern of my life

to have that one line

slanted in the wrong direction

testimony to a true day

not one so unlikely

it was made up

surely by fools

for the storybooks

they read to us

so long ago

that we now know

were false

"The Charm of Slight Imperfection" was originally published in}
